In this study, the polysaccharides extracted from Dendrobium officinale leaf (DOLP) was used in immune deficiency mice to evaluate the bioactivity. Thymus and spleen indices were calculated while the alleviation of the colon and liver histopathological progression was evaluated by H&E staining. The data indicated that DOLP improved immunity status by restoring the gut barrier and atrophy of immune organs. Cytokines levels as marker of inflammation were determined using ELISA in serum and colon. Which proved that DOLP inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF- α , TGF- β 1, IL-6, IL-1 β ) and promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels and microbial composition in feces were determined using GS and high-throughput sequencing. DOLP improved gut microbiota by increasing the relative abundance of total bacteria and probiotics such as Bacteroides , Lactobacillus and Lachnospiraceae. Therefore, DOLP has potential effect for the treatment of chronic immune diseases.

It remains a challenging task for the efficient conversion of carbohydrates to value-added chemicals at concentrated feedstock solution. In this contribution, the acid-catalyzed processing of high-concentration C5/C6 sugars (180 g/L) in the ethylene glycol (EG) solvent system was investigated, and prominent discrepancy was noticed between C5 and C6 sugars. A large amount of liquefied products was achieved in the concentrated C6 sugars EG solution, whereas the main products in the case of C5 sugars were found to be solid humins. The reaction mechanism studies revealed that EG can shelter fructose and reaction intermediates (5-hydroxymethylfurfural and levulinic acid) from the cross-polymerization and self-etherification reactions, thereby reducing the generation of solid humins during the fructose liquidation process. However, in the case of xylose, the copolymerization between EG and furfural (FF) generates a solid resin, thus rendering a high solid product yield. Moreover, the produced FF–EG resin was found to be a polymer with high molecular weight formed by connecting the furan ring and the alkyl structure through an ether bond. This finding provides insights into the acid-catalyzed conversion of concentrated C5/C6 sugars in EG, facilitating rationally designed processes for the valorization of concentrated carbohydrates.

The integration of photocatalytic biorefinery and water-splitting to hydrogen in one system is promising, yet limited success has been achieved. Herein, a spiral-tube-shaped carbon nitride photocatalyst (named as PACN) with phosphorus (P)/oxygen (O) co-doping was developed, which can be successfully used in the simultaneous visible-light-driven water splitting and biorefinery. The unique structure and P/O co-doping of PACN significantly enhanced the visible light absorption range and accelerated the migration/separation of photo-generated carriers. The hydrogen evolution rate over PACN reached 6437.65 μmol g -1 h −1 , which is 10.08 times higher than that of pristine carbon nitride. Meanwhile, the yield of lactic acid was as high as 93.01%. The universality of hydrogen evolution from various biomass-derived monosaccharides was demonstrated. Pentoses were more suitable for lactic acid production. Moreover, ·O 2 – played a primary role in the oxidation half-reaction. This study presents a novel co-production of hydrogen and biomass-derived chemicals that fully utilizes photocatalysis.

Photocatalytic biorefinery catches an ocean of attention because of its environmental friendliness. It is widely known that photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 is poor due to the wide bandgap and sluggish electron kinetics. Herein, biochar nanosheet and anatase TiO 2 (denoted as a- TiO 2 @MC) were combined to accelerate the charge separation/transfer and narrow the bandgap of TiO 2 , which is proved by UPS and Mott-Schottky plot analysis. With improved electron kinetics, comes excellent photocatalytic performance, which gave great yield of xylonic acid (52.26%) and lactic acid (49.22%). Furthermore, h + ,·OH, and 1 O 2 exerted positive effects on the synthesis of biomass-derived organic acids, in which the h + plays the major role in the biorefinery over a- TiO 2 @MC, whereas the·O 2 - is not. 1000-fold scale-up experiment indicated that 69.1% of the photocatalytic performance was achieved when compared with the similar conditions irradiated by visible light. This work provides an efficient photocatalytic biorefinery via a facile and low-cost way.

Although capsule-like materials as host carriers for enzyme encapsulation have been a hot topic in recent years, creating an ideal microenvironment for enhanced enzymatic performance is still a formidable challenge. Herein, we created a template-free method to in situ encapsulate natural enzymes in hollow covalent organic framework (COF) capsules at room temperature. The COF crystallites migrated from the inner core and self-assembled at the outside walls during the inside-out Ostwald ripening process, retaining the enzymes in the cavity. The adjustable hollow structure of the enzyme@COF capsule allowed the basic vibration of the enzyme to maintain a certain degree of freedom, thus significantly enhancing the enzymatic bioactivity. The hollow enzyme@COF capsule has large mesoporous tunnels allowing the efficient transport. In addition, the enzyme encapsulated in the capsule showed superior activity and ultrahigh stability under various extreme conditions that may lead to enzyme inactivation, such as high temperature, organic solvents, chelates, and the denaturing agent. Finally, the prepared hollow GOx@COF capsule was used for electrochemical sensing of glucose in human serum, and the electrochemical sensor exhibited high selectivity and satisfactory test results. This research not only provides a new way for COFs to encapsulate enzymes but also has potential applications in biocatalysis and biosensing, making artificial organelles possible.

Interlayered thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes have been proven to achieve enhanced water permeance for desalination applications , while those lacking effective control over the construction of interlayers were prone to unsatisfactory permselectivity . In this study, a high-performance TFN membrane was constructed via interfacial polymerization on a Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)-interlayered polyethersulfone substrate. Regulating the thickness of the MOFs (copper-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin , Cu-TCPP) interlayer could effectively tailor the structural parameters (effective filtration area, selective layer thickness, and pore size) and physicochemical properties of the membrane. A resistance-in-series model was applied to analyze the hydraulic resistance distribution and the specific value of the intrinsic solution permeability of each layer of the TFN membranes. Results showed that the interlayer with a proper deposition density of MOFs nanosheets could simultaneously increase the cross-linking degree by adsorbing the PIP monomers and reduce the thickness of the PA layer to enhance the intrinsic permeability . The optimal membrane with a thin PA film (20 nm) displayed an excellent water permeance of 32.7 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 and an ultrahigh NaCl/Na 2 SO 4 selectivity of 271.7. Moreover, the membrane demonstrated remarkable stability during 120 h filtration. This work provides a promising strategy for fabricating TFN membranes with higher selectivity and enhanced comprehensive performance.

In this work, an HCl-catalyzed ethylene glycol (EG) pretreatment was exploited for promoting sugar release from sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The results showed that the combination of HCl and EG could remove the xylan (∼100.0%) and lignin (∼61.3%) in SCB together, which finally resulted in the pretreated substrate having a good efficacy for follow-up enzymatic hydrolysis . The maximum glucose yield of this work was 93.9% and obtained after pretreatment at 130 °C for 60 min with 0.5% HCl and 72 h enzymatic digestion. The analysis of various pretreated or un-pretreated SCB indicated that the changes of surface morphology and internal compositions of SCB were the mainly reasons for its hydrolysis efficiency enhancement. The addition of Tween 80 into hydrolysis process could remarkably shorten hydrolysis time and cellulase dosage from 72 h to 36 h and 20 FPU/g substrate to 10 FPU/g substrate, respectively, meanwhile maintaining a relatively high glucose yield (91.4%).

Selective and efficient low-temperature hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin derivatives in water for the production of valuable biofuel and chemicals is still challenging. Herein, we reported biomass carbon-supported ultrafine Pd nanoparticles as highly active and stable catalysts for low-temperature HDO of vanillin (a typical lignin-derived compound) to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP). We found that the abundant carboxyl groups on the resultant catalyst greatly accelerated the conversion of the generated intermediate (vanillyl alcohol, VAL), and then, the synergistic catalysis between carboxyl groups and Pd nanoparticles promoted the efficient production MMP through a free-radical pathway. Other lignin derivatives with different functional groups were also efficiently converted to the corresponding products over the prepared catalyst. This work may provide a new idea for designing a biomass-derived catalyst for efficient transformation of various lignin derivatives to produce value-added biofuels and chemicals.

In this study, polysaccharides from the leaves of Rhododendron dauricum L. (RDPs) were decolorized using the static macroporous resin adsorption method. The RDPs were characterized and their antioxidant activities were investigated. An analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and a response surface method (RSM) were used to determine the optimum decolorization conditions as: a polysaccharide concentration of 8 mg/mL, decolorization time of 70 min, liquid–solid ratio of 6 mL/g, and decolorization temperature of 52 °C, with D101 as the best resin. Furthermore, two novel polysaccharides (RDP-1 and RDP-2) were isolated from R. dauricum leaves and characterized, which demonstrated that RDP-1 and RDP-2 were both composed of mannose , glucose, galactose , and arabinose in different molar ratios. These RDPs also exhibited a triple helix conformation, and primarily contained →6)-Glc p -(1→, →5)-Ara f -(1→, →2,4)-Man p -(1→, →6)-Gal p -(1→ and Glc p -(1→ residues with different connection sequences. Biological activity tests showed that the two polysaccharides possessed scavenging capacity against 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, and 2,2-Azino-bis-(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals. The results indicated that the antioxidant activities of the RDPs obtained by the static decolorization method improved, which lays a theoretical foundation for developing techniques for utilising R. dauricum .

In this study, three different kinds of nanofiltration membranes with polyamide (PA), polyesteramide (PEA), and polyester (PE) active layers were respectively synthesized by using piperazine, serinol and meso -erythritol as the aqueous monomers for interfacial polymerization. The three types of membranes achieved comparable rejections for the reference organic solute (i.e., xylose) via optimization of preparation conditions, based on which the characteristics of different active layers were comprehensively investigated. Results showed that the PA, PEA and PE membranes exhibited distinct surface morphologies. The special surface structures of PEA membranes and the larger active layer thickness of PE membranes resulted in their lower water permeance compared to PA membranes. Different from PA active layers, the absence of positively charged regions in the PEA and PA active layers was beneficial for the passage of divalent cations and the rejection of NaCl. Moreover, despite the comparable mean pore size, PA membranes exhibited a more uniform membrane pore size resulting in a higher rejection of organic matters in natural water than PEA and PE membranes. This study presented the differences in physicochemical properties and separation performance among the different membrane active layers, which could provide references for the rational selection of nanofiltration membrane types during application.

A novel polysaccharide (MSP-1) was isolated from the fruiting body of Morchella sextelata and purified using DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-75. The molecular weight of MSP-1 was 1.17 × 10 4 Da, as detected by HPLC analysis. The monosaccharide composition of MSP-1 was mannose and glucose at a ratio of 1.00: 1.25. Methylation and NMR results revealed that the backbone of MSP-1 was composed of →4)- β -D-Man p -(1→, →4)- β -D-Glc p -(1→, →4)- α -D-Glc p -(1→, and →4, 6)- α -D-Glc p -(1→. SEM images of MSP-1 presented a dense network structure with porous characterizations. The immunomodulatory activities of MSP-1 were evaluated using RAW264.7 cells, and the results showed that MSP-1 promoted proliferative and phagocytic activity and increased the production of NO, TNF- α and IL-6. These results indicated that MSP-1 exhibited significant immunomodulatory activities.
